Series: The Road to Nowhere #1
Description
Philip K. Dick Award Winner for Distinguished Science FictionWhen she fell asleep, the world was doomed. When she awoke, it was dead.In the wake of a fever that decimated the earthâs populationâkilling women and children and making childbirth deadly for the mother and infantâthe midwife must pick her way through the bones of the world she once knew to find her place in this dangerous new one. Gone are the pillars of civilization. All that remains is powerâand the strong who possess it.A few women like her survived, though they are scarce. Even fewer are safe from the clans of men, who, driven by fear, seek to control those remaining. To preserve her freedom, she dons menâs clothing, goes by false names, and avoids as many people as possible. But as the world continues to grapple with its terrible circumstances, sheâll discover a role greater than chasing a pale imitation of independence.After all, if humanity is to be reborn, someone must be its guide.
